Multiplayer online

A multiplayer online game is a multiplayer video game which can be played via a game server over the internet, with other players around the world. Some prominent examples of this include fighting games (e.g. Street Fighter IV and Tekken 6), sports games (e.g. NHL 14 and Grid Autosport), first-person shooters (Battlefield, Call of Duty, and Counter-Strike), a subgenre of shooter games called hero shooters (Overwatch and Paladins), strategy video games (e.g. Total War, Civilization, and StarCraft II), and a subgenre of strategy games called multiplayer online battle arena (e.g. League of Legends, Dota 2, Smite, and Heroes of the Storm).

These games differ from massively multiplayer online games (MMO games) in that they do not create a persistent world, but create a playing arena for the purpose of a single game or round.
